One step forward?

I had the pleasure of attending the unveiling of the inaugural installation of art on Hamilton’s King William ARTWALK last week. At wishart we’re concerned for and committed to Hamilton’s art scene and anything that can enhance the downtown core gets the big thumb’s up from us.

But creating the greater good isn’t always easy. Within a week the art was ‘tagged’ and now our smile is turned upside down by a vandal with a spray can. Kudos to everyone who has the fortitude to move forward with this exciting new display of public art. But let me suggest this one thing: Just as a lot of gallery art has glass in front of the work, consider putting a sheet of plexiglass on top of the art.
